All my adult driving life, ever since my first car, a 1986 Subaru GL Wagon, I have dreamed of being able to travel pollution-free. It always bothered me, that to see the greater wide world, that I had to spew out exhaust fumes to do so. It especially irked me when it came to travelling to wild, natural places ,away from the city. I didn't like it at all that to get away from urban noise and pollution, that I had to pollute to do so. Ugh.

While driving an electric vehicle is not the 100% perfect enviromental way to travel (that would be walking, and even then, one could argue that we emit...um, well, you know) it is certainly less carbon intensive than flying or driving a big Hummer.

Anyway, this road trip will be about 4000 miles and will take me through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, western Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Californina. I will be alternating staying in hotels and car-camping (Yes! You CAN sleep in the back of a Tesla Model S!) I will be visiting urban cities and mountain nature. I will be visiting numerous freinds and family members along the way.
